Robotics vs boxes

Our first week with all our household goods coincided with the boys Robotics Camp. Little did I know when I signed them up a few weeks back, that we would be in a house and have just received all our boxes. The choice for the boys was easy - all their toys were already unpacked, and had even had a once over play time - so off to Robot Camp.
The week long camp culminated in the camp showing off the Rube Goldberg machine that each group of the camp had contributed parts to,  it was an impressive endeavor to undertake and the risk paid off, although a few times the machine needed a bit of coaxing.
Watch the YouTube for the full effect. Lukas and Noah worked on the arms and the conveyer belt parts, and Lukas spent a lot of time on the Arduino controlled lights. Noah's face says it all. Clearly robotics won.
